I was hoping someone might be able to assist with my query....

We have an individual with the following Discretionary Benefits in their contract:

- Blackberry/ or IPhone
- Laptop with USB mobile broadband
- Company Credit Card

This individual is going on parental leave for 12months and in their contract it does not indicate if the company has the right to ask for this equipment back during their extended leave.

As an employer given that the benefits are given as tools of trade to help the individual perform their role and will not be working during their extended leave are we able to ask for the equipment back even if he haven't spelled it out in the original contract?

Thanks Gyro
